Chapter 134: Birthday Banquet (1)
Seeing that the nobles in the palace were so respectful and polite to the Qin family, the Zheng family couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable, and their smiles were a little unbearable, always thinking about finding something to make the Qin family ugly
Xu Zilin was also jealous when she saw Xu Zigui like this, but thinking about what Xu Ziyun told her about herself last night, her mood was much better - Xu Zigui was about to make a fool of herself in front of everyone in a while, how could she not be happy
Xu Zigui glanced at Xu Zilin, who was inexplicably happy on the side, and a contemptuous smile flashed in his eyes, he couldn't hide his feelings like this and wanted to deal with her, it was really wishful thinking!
"The old body meets the princess" Everyone walked into the second door, and Mrs. Xu hurriedly got up and corresponded, "Princess Wanfu Jin'an"
"Old lady doesn't need to be polite" Mo Leyuan hurriedly took two quick steps to stop Old Taijun Xu's salute, and said with a smile: "You are an elder, this kind of salute is really torturous to the junior"
Saying that, Mo Leyuan gave Mrs. Xu a nephew ceremony, so that the guests on the side were envious, Mrs. Xu happily pulled Mo Leyuan closer to her side, Xu Zigui gave Mrs. Xu a salute again, and Wen Zhu and Jin Xiang issued decrees respectively
Listening to so many rewards, everyone was envious, and Mrs. Shao on the side was even more jealous in her heart, thinking that she was the right lady, she didn't have such an honor when she was a birthday, and a small Hou Mansion would have such an honor! Why?
If everyone knew what Shao Lao Taijun was thinking at the moment, it was estimated that they would all laugh three times, the marquis could attack the lord, but the prime minister was only an official position, one was a century-old family, the other was an upstart in the capital, which one had some positions in the palace nobles, the result can be imagined, and only the right prime minister who thinks they are noble will think like this!
Just now, the Qin family was going to take the people of the Hou Mansion to pick up the princess outside the gate, and handed over the work of entertaining the distinguished guests to the Wu family. At this time, Wen Zhu and the two left, and the Qin family took over the Wu family's work with a smile
Seeing this, Xu Zigui hurriedly took over Qin Siyu's work, took over the work of entertaining the daughters of various provinces, and entertained everyone with a smile, and after a while, someone came to report. It was said that the people from the Zhou Guogong Mansion came. Hearing that Zhou Yining was coming, Xu Zigui hurriedly handed over the work to Xu Ziyun, and asked Qin Siyu and Mo Leyuan to watch. Only then did he rest assured that he took Xu Ziruo to the second gate
"Auntie, Sister Zhou" Seeing Mrs. Zhou take Zhou Yining out of the carriage, Xu Zigui hurriedly greeted him with a smile and greeted the two. Only then did he find out that Zhou Yinong came with Mrs. Zhou's carriage, and Xu Zigui hurriedly greeted him. Laughed
"Brother is waiting for Brother Zhou in the front yard."
Since the last time I saw Xu Zigui in the Hou Mansion, Zhou Yinong has never seen Xu Zigui again, although he has only seen one time, but the sweet and glutinous "Brother Zhou" of Xu Zigui last time made Zhou Yinong remember it in his heart. I have been thinking about it these days, and now I came with my mother, and I also guessed the friendship between my sister and Xu Zigui. Xu Zigui will definitely be waiting outside the second gate, so he took a gamble. I came with my mother
Now that the person in his heart is laughing and feasting in front of him, Zhou Yinong is a little at a loss, or Zhou Yining reacts faster, smiles and takes Xu Zigui, and speaks to Mrs. Zhou with a playful expression
"It's our blessing to be able to invite this lazy thing out to greet us."
Embarrassed to be teased by Zhou Yining, Xu Zigui glared at her and said, "Sister Zhou knows how to arrange me"
Zhou Yinong reacted at this time, and smiled at Xu Zigui and the sisters: "In this way, the mother and sister will be entrusted to the lord of Yunjin, and the minister will go to the main courtyard."
Xu Zigui smiled and said: "It's just a nominal county lord, Brother Zhou doesn't need to be polite."
Saying that, he sent someone to lead Zhou Yinong to the front yard, and he took Mrs. Zhou, Zhou Yining and Zhou Yining's sisters to the main courtyard, but it happened that Wan Shangshu's carriage also came at this time, Xu Zigui asked Xu Ziruo to lead everyone to the backyard, and he waited outside the second gate, watching Qin Siyuan and Wan Lu's sister-in-law get down from the carriage with a smile, and greet them with a smile
"After the eldest cousin got married, her face looked more radiant and moving," he said, stepped forward and hugged Qin Siyuan with Wan Lu left and right, and said with a smile: "Didn't Mrs. Wan come?" ”
"Mother-in-law is in the carriage behind, it is estimated that it will come in a while" Qin Siyuan explained with a smile, but the loneliness in her eyes still made Xu Zigui capture, thinking that Aunt Cheng would come at this time? Frowning slightly, he said tentatively
"Why did you leave Mrs. Wan behind?"
"And my aunt and cousin"
As soon as Xu Zigui's words came out, Wan Lu's expression really became embarrassed, and Xu Zigui was relieved, it seemed that Aunt Cheng really brought Cheng Huashang here.
Although he knew that there would be such a day, Xu Zigui was still surprised so soon, it can be seen that Qin Siyuan's life in Wanfu is not very good, Qin Siyuan is still a new wife, and her in-laws treat her like this, and she will not be tortured to death in a few years?
Xu Zigui was a little indignant, and his tone was a little bad: "Why didn't you come together?" Do you have to separate? ”
As soon as this sentence came out, Wan Lu's expression was even more embarrassed, but fortunately, at this time, Mrs. Wan's carriage arrived at the gate, and Wan Lu breathed a sigh of relief, and stood in place with Xu Zigui and Qin Siyuan waiting for the maid to lure Mrs. Wan and a few people over
Qin Siyuan saw her mother-in-law and hurriedly greeted her, and Xu Zigui was holding her breath in her heart, so naturally she would not step forward to greet a few people from the Geng family, Aunt Cheng didn't know that Xu Zigui was the lord of Yunjin, and when she saw Xu Zigui standing there standing still, she couldn't help but sarcastically say: "Weiyuan Houfu is a good tutor, and the girl who has been educated doesn't know the etiquette when she sees her elders, she is really the same as her cousin."
In a word, even Qin Siyuan said it together, Xu Zigui snorted coldly: "I can't take the turn of others to talk about the tutoring problem of the Marquis of Weiyuan" After speaking, he glanced at Aunt Cheng coldly and sneered: "If you want the county lord to give you a gift, first see if you are worthy"
As soon as Xu Zigui's words came out, Aunt Cheng knew that she had offended the county lord, and hurriedly apologized with a smile: "The courtiers don't know that they are the county lord's mother, and please don't blame the county lord's mother" said, pulled Cheng Huashang down and said: "Shang'er, don't hurry up and salute the county lord"
Cheng Huashang hurriedly saluted and smiled: "The courtiers have seen the county lord"
Xu Zigui sneered, and didn't give the mother and daughter any face: "Qingxiang, bring Mrs. Wan and a few people in to arrange the seats" said, and said to Aunt Cheng's mother and daughter: "I don't know that there are irrelevant people coming back from the house, and the preparations are not enough." Please forgive Mrs. Cheng."
One sentence made Aunt Cheng a little unable to get off the stage, but Cheng Huashang smiled and pretended not to understand the meaning of Xu Zigui's words, and said: "It's good for the courtiers to follow Sister Qin and cousin."
Xu Zigui sneered, want to sit with them? Think beautifully!
"No, the county lord and my cousin Sister Wan haven't seen each other for a few days, and I have a lot to say, so it's really inconvenient for Miss Cheng to follow." gave the love fragrance a look. Qingxiang then made a gesture of please, "Mrs. Cheng, Mrs. Wan, please"
Cheng Huashang wanted to grind for a while. Thinking of following Qin Siyuan, she would have the opportunity to ruin Qin Siyuan's reputation, but it was a pity that Xu Zigui didn't give her this opportunity, Xu Zigui just looked at her coldly. Speak lightly
"What? The words of this county lord don't work like this? ”
Xu Zigui has not used the identity of the master but the identity of the county lord since he met them, and Xu Zigui has said this. If Cheng Huashang still insisted on following Xu Zigui to a few people, it would really be no different from disrespecting the will, so he collected the hatred in his eyes and followed Qingxiang to sit sideways
Aunt Cheng and a few people left. Wan Lucai sighed slightly, "Don't pay attention to my aunt, she has always wanted her cousin to marry my eldest brother to be a partial house, but fortunately, my eldest brother did not let go and agreed." My mother used suicide to persecute my eldest brother and provoked my eldest brother. My eldest brother put down his cruel words and said that if he persecuted him again, he would go to the frontier to help the prince fight, which made my mother stop for a while."
As he spoke, he looked at Qin Siyuan with some apologies, and said in a low voice: "But it's embarrassing for my sister-in-law."
Xu Zigui sighed slightly, patted Wan Lu's hand, and didn't know what to say, so he only thought about taking the two of them into the backyard, Qin Siyu saw a few people coming in, and didn't know what was happening outside, so he hurriedly greeted him, took Qin Siyu's hand and said with a smile: "It's here, let my sister wait" After speaking, he looked around again, "Where is my brother-in-law?" ”
Wan Lu smiled and nodded Qin Siyu's forehead, and teased: "Big brother naturally went to the front yard, there are so many women in this backyard, it's hard to ask big brother to come to the backyard."
Qin Siyu knew what stupid thing he had asked, so he only smirked and didn't speak, and Shao Qingyuan, who was passing by, happened to hear a few people talking and snorted coldly
"The relationship between Miss Qin Er and Mrs. Wan Shao is really good, I have never seen a girl who is so enthusiastic about her brother-in-law"
This sentence is directly aimed at Qin Siyu Xiao thinking about his brother-in-law, Shao Qingyuan's voice is not small, and the people around him can listen to it, and they can't help but look over here, Qin Siyu blushed for a while, glaring at Shao Qingyuan but didn't know how to refute
Wan Lu sneered: "Second Miss Qin and my sister-in-law are sisters, and the relationship is naturally good, what does Miss Shao mean by this?"
Shao Qingyuan glanced at a few people contemptuously, and said casually: "Empress E's daughter Yingshang is not so good as a sister, not to mention that Second Miss Qin and Mrs. Wan Shao are still sisters."
Shao Qingyuan used Empress E's daughter Ying as a metaphor for Qin Siyuan and Qin Siyu, what she wanted to say didn't need to be said clearly, everyone knew it, and for a while, the people around looked at them in surprise, all of them were incredible, and there was even more contempt in their eyes when they looked at Qin Siyu - Xiao Xiang was his brother-in-law, could he not be despised
Qin Siyu was a little angry when he was watched, and glared at Shao Qingyuan angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about!" ”
Shao Qingyuan looked at Qin Siyu with a surprised expression: "Do I have nonsense?" Aren't you and Mrs. Wan Shao sisters? ”
"You!" Qin Siyu was so angry that Shao Qingyuan took it out of context and couldn't say anything to refute it
"The relationship between the two sisters should be good, and they don't need Miss Shao's reminder" Xu Zigui glanced at Shao Qingyuan lightly and sneered: "What is Miss Shao's intention to use Empress E's daughter to compare the two cousins of the county lord, and the county lord really doesn't understand?" Could it be that Miss Shao meant that the dignified Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion wanted to send her daughter to be a partial house or a concubine? It's just presumptuous! ”
Surrounded by the human spirits who crawled in the back house, from the moment Shao Qingyuan opened his mouth, he knew that Shao Qingyuan's original purpose was to ruin Qin Siyu's reputation, and at this time, seeing that the county lord of Yunjin couldn't help but speak, everyone looked at a few people with a look of good show
Xu Zigui naturally knew that they wanted to see the excitement, so he suffocated coldly, and everyone was frightened and looked away, feeling incredible, the eldest girl of the Xu family was only eleven years old, a child, and her aura was so powerful, there was really no way to underestimate it
"Why don't you leave here" Mo Leyuan saw a few people frozen here, and guessed what was going on here, so he walked over quickly, asked Xu Zigui with worried eyes, and saw Xu Zigui shaking his head at himself, so he put his mind at ease and said with a smile
"Come here, everyone is waiting for you."
"Eh" Xu Zigui nodded, glanced at Shao Qingyuan coldly, and then took Wan Lu and a few people to sit at the table where Mo Leyuan was sitting just now, this table is all acquaintances, seeing Wan Lu and Qin Siyuan, it is inevitable that there will be another round of ridicule, Qin Siyuan saw that everyone was ridiculing him, and he couldn't help but fight back, so he only said softly
"Sister Zhou should be in time for the New Year, but it's a pity that our Gu Gongzi is far away from the frontier now, and I don't know if he will come to marry Sister Zhou next year."
Everyone shifted the target of ridicule to Zhou Yining, and Zhou Yining was embarrassed by everyone and bowed his head coquettishly: "You laughed at Sister Qin and came to laugh at me again, it's really bad."
Everyone laughed, but they also let Zhou Yining go, Xu Ziruo smiled and said, "I'll let you go today, and when Gu Gongzi comes back from the frontier in a few years, we should give you a lot of makeup and give you a marriage."
Last year, Zhou Yining and Gu Cheng, the second son of Gu Tongling, got married, and when the war broke out, Gu Cheng went to the frontier with the prince, and Zhou Yining's marriage was delayed for several years
When Xu Ziruo said this, everyone laughed, Wan Lu grabbed Xu Zigui's shoulder and pointed at Xu Ziruo and laughed: "Your sister is really getting worse and worse."
Xu Zigui twisted Xu Ziruo's nose and said with a smile: "No, my brother and I are not in the house, and the girls in the house are only my three sisters, how many grandmothers and mothers can not hurt her?" ”
Xu Ziruo then answered with a smile: "Look, I said that the eldest sister will be jealous of me when she comes back."
Mo Leyuan was amused by Xu Ziruo, and leaned on Xu Ziruo's shoulder and trembled: "Xiao Ruo'er, I haven't seen you for more than a month, and your changes are really a little bigger."
"It's not" Qin Siyuan answered: "This monkey skin Cheng is about to catch up with Gui'er, and my aunt will be worried in the future."
"People are sisters, even monkeys are the same" Qin Siyu took Qin Siyu's words, and only made Xu Zigui sisters blush, Xu Zigui was about to refute a few words, but Xu Ziyun brought someone over and said with a smile
"The eldest sister and the third sister are also really, their own sisters gathered here, but they left a few of us aside, I don't know, I should say that our sisters are not in harmony" (to be continued)
